AI-Driven Enrollment Communications: Transforming Engagement in Higher Ed

As higher education institutions prepare for the challenges of 2025 and beyond, the demand for personalized, efficient, and empathetic student communication has never been greater. Admissions and enrollment teams often find themselves caught between the need to scale outreach and the desire to foster meaningful connections. 

Enter AI-driven enrollment communication tools like Mongoose’s Conversation Intelligence Platform (CIP)—a game-changer for how universities engage with students.

Bridging the Gap with Conversation Intelligence

Today’s prospective students expect instant, personalized responses. Traditional tools like CRMs often fall short in delivering the level of interaction students require. Mongoose’s Conversation Intelligence Platform bridges this gap by combining relevant, empathetic two-way conversations with AI-driven insights that optimize outcomes.

“Research shows that students prefer instant communication channels like text messaging, and they expect a level of personalization that many institutions struggle to deliver.”

Matt Baker, Associate Vice President of Product Management at Mongoose

More than just messaging, Mongoose transforms unstructured conversational data into actionable intelligence, enabling institutions to anticipate needs, personalize communication, and build lasting trust at scale.

Below, we preview how Conversation Intelligence is revolutionizing enrollment communication, but the full playbook provides detailed strategies and tools to make it work for your institution.
